Problem with PHP

harshadgotad · 04-29-2012, 12:04 PM

i have installed rhel 6 including ALL the OPTIONAL PACKAGES.
moreover i have made a html file linked to a PHP file in ubuntu, copied it to /var/www/html of rhel 6, and now i want to run it on my RHEL 6, but after pressing submit button in the index.html page the parameter (i.e. the name of as person)passed in html file doesn't appear.

i'm getting the out put as:
"HELLO , PHP IS WORKING!!!"

HTML CODE (file name is index.html):
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Testing!</title>
</head>
<body>
<br/>
<form action="test.php" method="post" name="form1">
Your Name : <input type="text" name="name"><br/><br/>
<input type="submit" value="SUBMIT">
</form>
</body>
</html>

PHP CODE(file name is test.php):
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Testing!</title>
</head>
<body>
HELLO <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?> , PHP IS WORKING!!!
</body>
</html>

Change the line below in test.php:

PHP Code:


			
HELLO <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?> , PHP IS WORKING!!!

To:

PHP Code:


			
<?php echo "Hello " . $_POST["name"] ." ".  "PHP IS WORKING!!!";?>

i still see the code of php after pressing submit button.
After clicking on submit it shows a prompt
"Do you want to post from data to URL file:///root/test.php (POST DATA)?"
after hitting yes, it shows a prompt again which says
"What would you like to do with the file 'test.php' (type: application/octet-stream)?
Program ('%' will be replaced by the file name)"
and it asks to open, save, display, cancel

It seems your php is not configured fine. Or else you are not asking the browser to open the page using http protocol. It is opening it as a file.

What happens if you just produce a file "test.php" in your
document root that has the following content?

Code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Cheers,

Are you opening it in your file manager? instead of a browser with "http://localhost/index.html"?
